Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Oak. People call me the Pokémon Professor.
This world is inhabited by creatures, that we call Pokémon. People and Pokémon live together supporting each other. Some people play with Pokémon, some battle with them. But we don't know everything about Pokémon yet. There are still many mysteries to solve. That's why I study Pokémon every day.

However, my abilities are limited... Do you think you can help me in investigating the Pokémon world? Go ahead, just click GO! to help me in my research by raising your own Pokémon!

The Daycare Center has received some much needed updates. As some of you know, when the Daycare Center is holding an egg for you, a man will appear just outside on the map. You can now opt in to receive a PM from the old man when he has an egg for you!

Now, you might be thinking, that's cool and all, but it takes me weeks to get an egg! That should now be a thing of the past. With this update, the Daycare will take in to account how many Virtuadopts you have been feeding and increase the odds of the Daycare finding an egg! Even if you are not active, your odds will increase but at a much slower rate.

What are you waiting for? Now is a great time to breed some new Alolan Pokémon!

Over the last few days, you may have noticed a strange, cryptic message on the site consisting of seemingly random letters. The meaning of the message has slowly been decoded to reveal....

A new generation of Pokémon are on the horizon. These Pokémon are from the Alola region. To begin your journey through this new region, talk to Professor Rowan and obtain your first Alola Pokémon! More information is coming soon. Can't wait? Try out the new Alola banner!

Many of you know exactly what this means, but for those who do not, let me explain. Ice Cream Cone adopts can be purchased from the Mart and ice cream scoops can be obtained from clicking adoptables. You can then combine the two (up to 3 scoops) in the Laboratory.

Today is June 1st, the unofficial start to summer. That also means hot hot hot sun and you need a way to cool off, but how? Maybe behind a big cool rock, with some nice freezing ice cream, or with a steel air conditioner (like me). Whatever your answer is in beating the heat, make sure you go out on an adventure and encounter new Virtuadopts!

The evil Team Rocket is back and badder than ever! They have begun experimenting on Pokémon, trying to create a new, more powerful group of Pokémon to take over the world! We need you to help put a stop to them and save these Pokémon. We strongly urge you to continue reading for all the details before starting your new mission.

As we do every June 1st, a new birthday promo is now available, Birthday Eevee. Cute huh? That means Birthday Audino is now retired. Remember, it does not go by your actual birthday, but the date you registered. Get it here.

And here is Kalos’ very own Egg Collecting Phantump! He is the current favorite for gold in the egg gathering competition, and there’s speculation that he may attempt to break the current world record of locating 30 easter eggs in 10 minutes! Phantump’s current Olympic record is 20 eggs gathered, so he has a ways to go. However, it’s been a year since the last competition. Will he be able to defeat the current world champion?

Ladies and gentlemen, last year’s Miss Spring! In the spirit of the season, she is wearing designer Spring accessories and flowers native to her home, the Unova region. Will she keep the title this year, too? Stay tuned to find out!

And here is the Easter loving rabbit also from the Kalos region, Painting Bunnelby! Bunnelby is the Kalos champion, most famous for her skill in painting Easter eggs. She won gold last year by painting up to 10 eggs per second. She has mastered that egg painting technique perfectly, right down to the dot. Wow! Could she be the one that hid all the eggs?

My name is Aip, your awesome news anchor this year! I tell you, nobody can keep up with me when it comes to snatching up the latest news. Let’s all get started by introducing this year’s participants!

In breaking news- this just in, reporting to you live from Virtuadopt city. Just days before the Easter Olympics are due to begin, the champion’s prizes, the Easter Eggs, have been stolen! It was revealed to this reporter that the thief left a note indicating that the Eggs would be hidden throughout the city. The Easter Olympics competitions won’t be affected, but let’s find those Eggs citizens, for our champions!

Are you old fashioned? Why not get that special someone a pretty bouquet of flowers!

Some of you may remember this for the Valentines Luvdisc a few years back. This time, there are 5 different colors and each user has only 1 of those colors they can give out. You can give out a total of 5, and not to yourself. You will have to work with each other to make sure you get one, especially if you want to adopt them all!

While reviewing security cameras in the lab, officials made a startlingly discovery. Seconds before the incident, Arceus appeared and seemed to try and prevent the incident, but in doing so, put itself at risk and had its heart closed too. More information to follow.

Researchers at the Virtuadopt Pokémon Laboratory have issued a warning to all local residents. At approximately 12:00am, a test was conducted with dark matter and the Pokémon: Lugia and Ho-oh. The dark matter has infested itself with the two Pokémon and caused their hearts to close. These Pokémon have escaped from the lab and are considered to be hostile and dangerous.

Not much else is known at this time as to how this has happened or if it is contagious. If you see these Pokémon, you are to contact the Virtuadopt Pokémon Laboratory. Below are images of the infected Lugia and Ho-oh.

Wild West Keldeo has been retired from the Raffle. To replace it, we are bringing back some old favorites for a month, Lugia and Ho-oh. Didn't win a Wild West Keldeo? Keep an eye on the GTS cause I might put some up later ;)

With the temperature continuing to max out the thermometer, it is a good idea to take a dip in the nearest pool and cool off.

Two eggs have been spotted in Adoption Center. They look similiar, and they aren't so different from other Pokémon eggs... but those hearts must mean something. The scientists said they are somehow connected to each other.
